VERY poor service. I had a fairly straight forward trust settlement event, and merely needed an attorney to look over my shoulder and see that the forms that needed to be signed were in order. I asked REPEATEDLY for advice on signing waivers, and only once received an answer TWO WEEKS after the form was due. The other forms I signed with NO reply from this company. Save your sanity and money, go elsewhere. TLDR; GLACIAL AND SLOPPY. Read less

We are very sorry this person had a bad experience with our firm. We are used to our client responses being praised, not scorned. If you ever feel you are not getting the service you deserve, Please contact me directly. Phillip Baumann
